I'm just not seeing how a team with a weak offense is gonna handle our Stout Defense and Strong offense. 

Rather than go point by point, I'll just address this line, which is a pretty good summary of your post.  If you're not seeing the way a weak offense team like the Broncos can "handle" a team as stout as the Panthers, you should watch the game the Broncos played on Feb 7, 2016.  They had a very poor offense and played against a heavily favored team and "handled" them pretty well.  I'd say they will use that game's strategy of being more physical on defense in this season's opener.

If by "handled" you mean handed the game via turnovers and dropped passes, then I agree. Unfortunately for the Broncos, Jericho Catcher won't be out there again and Stewart won't be playing hobbled (hopefully, it IS Stew, so no guarantees there). 

I mean "handled" by taking the game via forced turnovers and a ferocious pass rush that forces bad throws.  You guys still don't get it.  You watched the game but you didn't see.  It wasn't bad luck, or officiating.  The Panthers mistakes were caused by a defense they simply weren't prepared for and weren't physically able to match.  I suppose after the 8th, you guys will find more excuses, and nothing will change except you'll have to say that if they played ten times the Panthers would win eight.

Ah Denver fans use the cliche ...we won with horrible QB play all the time. None of guys give credit to the leadership and genius mind Peyton had. His presence alone lifted everyone's play around him, it was very evident in the super bowl. The Sanchise doesnt exude that level of confidence and has the propensity to throw the timely game ending interception. If you think you guys will be just fine with a statue at QB you will be greatly mistaken. You better pray you hold every opponent to under 13 points a game this season.

 

Also the way Denver fans talk poo about Peyton is sickening, you guys are a spoiled pompous fan base. He got you to 2 superbowls in 3 years and won one, and you guys act like all Peyton ever did was show up and sell pappa johns.

I have all the respect in the world for Peyton Manning.  His first three years in Denver were truly epic, and Broncos fans were lucky to have the opportunity to see him in orange and blue.  But none of that respect, gratitude, and good feeling can alter the facts of 2015 Peyton Manning.  Whether it was his age, the lingering foot injury, a new system that wasn't ideal for his skill set, the horrific play of the offensive line, or more likely, a combination of all these factors, Manning was not good in 2015.  His leadership was certainly crucial in the postseason, but let's not pretend that it was Manning who had Miller and Ware keeping Cam under constant assault for the whole game.  I can appreciate the player Manning was while being realistic about the comparatively minor role he played in ultimately securing the Championship, a Championship that was unequivolly won through the play of an historic defense.

Historic my ass, your werent the 85 bears or 2000 ravens, you won due to a couple timely turnovers. Our D held you guys to the lowest yardage ever by a superbowl winner. If it wasnt for the short fields from the fumbles you would have been around 10 points just like us.  If you think your D wasnt playing inspired to give Peyton the hollywood ending you're in denial. Without Peyton YOU dont win the superbowl, it isnt just CUZ of your defense.  Horrible playcalling by our OC played right into the strengths of your speed edge rushes. We beat ourselves unequivocally.  Sept 8th cant get here fugging fast enough.

 

Its a catch 22 game for us, if we win...you will talk poo saying we didnt win the big one. If we lose, you will talk poo saying Ha ha , you didnt win the big one. Dont fugging care, we are hungry, we get the W sept 8.

Thinking the Panthers learned nothing from the last matchup would be unwise for the Broncos.   The Broncos earned they're victory, the Panthers fully expect to earn theirs when the two meet again.   Sleep on us at your own peril.

Please don't misunderstand my defense of the Broncos as underestimating the Panthers.  They are an excellent team on both sides of the ball.  While there may be questions in the secondary, I don't think anyone with sense would downplay the strength and speed in your front 7.  They have a powerful offense with a QB with all of Cam's ability and the many weapons available to him.  

While I argue against the people claiming this will be a Panther blowout, I certainly don't think the Broncos win a blowout either.  I just believe this is a winnable game, much as I thought the SB was winnable despite the overwhelming feeling to the contrary by many.  

I don't think the Broncos are the type of team to overlook anyone, let alone an extraordinary team that could be looking for payback.  I just don't think the Panthers,or their fans, should repeat the mistake of overconfidence.  This will be a slugfest for both teams and it should be some awesome football.

Good post, and of course it wont be a blow out either way. It will be a tight game. You cant blame us for being overconfident after a season of 15-1 , #1 offense, #6 Defense....after hearing the talking media sport heads talk poo all year long. Then we beat the dog poo out of their two media golden child teams in seattle and arizona. Every other team fan base said we were too cocky. If you were in our shoes after that season and the mvp at your helm....you would have acted the same way, and that is the truth.

 

Im done talking ....Sept 8th

Historic, and arguably better than the 85 Bears or 2000 Ravens.  Obviously the stats don't match, but the 85 Bears had the #2 offense in the league that year and the Ravens had a power running game that helped chew up clock and limit turnovers.  The Broncos defense was on the field more than the inept offense, often covering short fields due to turnovers.  No defense in history has had to carry so much weight, and you supply more evidence in the Broncos offensive stats in the SB. Lowest ever by a Super Bowl winner. It was like that most of the season.  Those "timely" turnovers weren't lucky, it was what they had been doing all season to make up for what was lacking on offense.  I do agree your OC made some really questionable decisions, and I guess we'll find out if he learned when we see if he leaves the edge rushers singled again, or if he at least forces the pressure to come from somewhere else.  Either way, don't doubt that Cam will be under pressure.  It should come down to who can grit their teeth and gut it out to the end.  I know the Broncos can win that type of game, they did it all last season.  We'll find out if the Panthers have gotten tougher.  We agree at least on Sep 8 not getting here fast enough.

You guys act like all you have to do is just stick Von Miller in and instant win. Like the Panthers have no chance because Von Miller is too much. It's hilarious, because understandably our fanbase before the Superbowl expected the opposite. But you know, delusions come from both sides of each fan bases. After all, the Broncos now have the media loving them, while the Panthers are only getting more publicity because of the hate we've always been getting.

 

Understand this. Our #1 offense from last year is not the same. We have Kelvin Benjamin coming back, a healthy J-Stew, and a revamped offense with new play-calling, faster tempo, and no huddle style. We'll be firing up all cylinders. Our D-Line has been drastically improved with the addition of solid depth, and our LB's, man, TD, Luke, and Shaq could be in the Top 5. Our cornerbacks doesn't consist of JNo anymore, but we don't have McClain or Finnegan anymore starting, and our rookies have made leaps in progress. Safeties have been rounded out, no more slow Harper, and our DE's, with a motivated Johnson and Ealy, will chew up. 

 

We won't be the same rugged team as last year. You guys have lost some pieces, don't say your losses on Defense isn't that substantial. I even say losing Norman for us is big, but not as bad as what you guys have lost. Our Offense and Defense has continuity, while the Broncos have reached that Superbowl slump so many predecessors have gone through. I expect a tough game, considering the environment of play, but I doubt we'd take another loss. 

 

Just get ready, and get real yourself. You all thinking we'd be cake will cost. Don't blame me if Von Miller doesn't become much of a factor this go around. I believe the Panthers will be able to prevent that. Good luck.

You call them forced fumbles by Von Miller. I call it an illegal hit to the head of the QB and an illegal batted ball toward the opponents end zone. Be glad Miller did not get called for those blatant penalties. If Peyton Manning's head jostled from a hit to the side or the Panthers batted a ball down the field 10 yards that Manning was about to recover, then the officials would have flagged the Panthers in a second.

    • Maybe they meant to invite Jaxson Dart and got the names mixed up
    • Decided to finally paste this in from my google drive...enjoy the mini-book. May make 1 addendum pre-draft.   2025 Mock Draft - Full 1st Round Note: 4 trades, just teams jumping for guys I think they’re targeting.   1. TEN - Cameron Ward QB Miami - Seems like Ward #1 is a near lock. 2. CLE - Travis Hunter DB/WR Colorado - The Browns are craving offense right now and I believe the rumors.  He brings it on both sides of the ball, elevates the entire team.  3. NYG - Adbul Carter DE/OLB Penn State - I don’t want to go Carter here, but it’s either this or Schoen/Daboll take a swing on Shedeur.  I just don’t think he’s going that high - their careers depend on this pick.  They landed Russ to band-aid, so him and a Carter addition could improve each side of the ball enough to survive another year.   4. NE - Will Campbell OT LSU - His game is great; it sounds like many teams have no issue with his size and think he can go at LT.  Great scenario for Maye if NE is one of those teams.   5. TRADE SF (from JAX) - Armand Membou OT Missouri - I think they’re taking calls and SF could have the ammo.  This is a spot that seems penciled in as Graham for JAX, but it’s just not feeling like the scenario for me.  Lynch/Shanahan are not shy to trade up.  They usually don’t go OL high, but everyone bucks their trends once in a while.  Huge need and they have a boatload of picks.  I could see a bit of crazy happening. 6. LVR - Ashton Jeanty RB Boise State - I’m buying into the common refrain here.  Jeanty in Carrol’s offense with Bowers as the top target is super interesting.  Could make Geno’s job a lot easier. 7. NYJ - Mason Graham DT Michigan - The value is just too good and the fit is great.  I have a sense that Graham could slip, but he meshes well with Glenn and that growing defense.  Doesn't get past NYJ. 8. CAR - Jalon Walker LB Georgia - Could easily see a trade if Graham and Walker are gone (SF, SEA & IND as potential suitors).  But with Walker here, he just makes a lot of sense for building that defense.  Lots of buzz around him going higher, but unsure where that would be.  This marriage feels inevitable.   9. NO - Shedeur Sanders QB Colorado - Sanders lands in New Orleans.  I just see the organization being the one that fits him and could take the risk.  Carr is not guaranteed that starter spot much longer if his play like last season continues.   10. TRADE IND (from CHI) - Tyler Warren TE Penn State - With Jeanty & OTs gone, Chicago takes calls.  Warren is available here, and I could see Indy jumping up slightly to grab him.  Chicago may want to gather more picks to best build Ben’s team for Caleb. 11. JAX (from SF) - Derrick Harmon DE/DT Oregon - Harmon would be a great fit to help with their DL.  One of my favorite players in the draft who I think is way more coveted than let on.  Wins with his hands, has great size, length, gets after the QB, good run defender.  Slippery, high motor, understands how to advance in the trenches.  Too promising to go much later. 12. DAL - Mykel Williams DE/EDGE UGA - May not have the production you want, but the flashes are there.  Has the size and a great motor.  Needs to improve his pass rush plan, but after watching interviews, I can see why he’s viewed favorably.  Heavily linked to Dallas, could go as high as 8/CAR. 13. MIA - Jahdae Barron DB Texas - Best defensive playmaker in the draft and they are in need of more talent across the board on defense.  High football IQ, all over the field type. Good long term option, high floor, great skills.  Pairing him with Ramsey would be nice.   14. CHI (from IND) - Omarion Hampton RB UNC - Here’s where it gets interesting.  They’ve met with him multiple times, and I could see Johnson licking his chops at the possibility of Hampton.  It’s much more stomach-able with this trade down, gaining some capital in the process.   15. ATL - Donovan Ezeiruaku OLB BC - There’s reported interest and I think teams are pretty high on Ez (for good reason).  Being an Ez fan, I don’t want to see him in ATL, but they need a sure-thing pass rusher, and he’s the most sure thing in that department this draft.   16. TRADE GB (from AZ) - Matthew Golden WR Texas - The Packers finally buck the trend and aggressively go after a round 1 receiver.  If Golden is around, and they like him enough, I can see this type of move being made to help Love.   17. CIN - Kenneth Grant DT/NT Michigan - Shoring up the DL would be a smart move.  They need a boost in a big way, and Grant is a monster who I have a hard time not seeing being effective, and quickly.  Awesome fit for what the Bengals need as well. 18. SEA - Kelvin Banks Jr OT Texas - They’ve been linked, met, have the need, and could be wise given all the new investments on offense.  Zabel or Banks are in play here, could also see them trade up with their picks.   19. TB - Will Johnson CB Notre Dame - His value here becomes too good to ignore but injury concerns do bring him down a tad. Bucs wind up with a corner they can’t refuse. 20. DEN - Tetiaroa McMillan WR Arizona - Slipping just a bit, he makes it to Denver who lands guy for Nix to grow with.   21. PIT - Tyleik Williams DT/NT Ohio State - A bit higher than expected – the Steelers are in need of offensive help in a major way but they need an overall reset.  For that - it’s trenches out.  Arguably the best run defender in the draft and is being way overlooked.  Has met with every team, is spoken of super highly in scouting circles.  Tyleik is one of those guys everyone is trying to be quiet about. 22. LAC - Colston Loveland TE Michigan - Harbaugh brings in familiar company to LA.  They have some DL needs but pairing Loveland in that offense could be a great situation to boost Herbert and team.  I don't think he's this mid-round 1 pick everyone seems to be stamping in but this is a nice scenario.     23. AZ (from GB) - Walter Nolen DT Ole Miss - Nolen doesn’t slip all the way past round 1, too much talent.  Cardinals get a much needed DL presence. 24. MIN - Jihaad Campbell LB Alabama - Tore his labrum post-combine, so will likely miss half the season (at least), but I don’t think that drops him too far.  Vikes have the roster built to let him mend and ease into things.   25. HOU - Donovan Jackson OT/G Ohio State - He fits their needs in a big way and is viewed more favorably by teams than the other IOLs.  Stroud gets a familiar pal for much needed protection. 26. LAR - Trey Amos CB Ole Miss - A riser who keeps rising and fits the zone/man combo that McVay likes.  Could fit very nicely in LA. 27. BAL - Grey Zabel IOL North Dakota State - BAL is a popular safety destination but I see IOL as a primary target if Zabel is here.  He’s been a major riser, getting real R1 love.  The fit here is pretty spot on. 28. DET - Mike Green EDGE/OLB Marshall - Green is a gamble, his history is a bit of an unknown, but suspect.  If he checks out interview-wise with teams, he could end up in a solid late round spot.  Huge boost for the Lions. (Watch for Scourton here too) 29. WAS - Nick Emmanwori S South Carolina - After seeing what they were able to get out of Chinn, this could be a great fit for a defense who needs some secondary help.   30. BUF - Emeka Egbuka WR Ohio State - A bit of a WR slippage allows the Bills to grab a complimentary piece along with Coleman.  Pairs well to boost that offense and get them a bit more efficient.   31. KC - Josh Simmons OT Ohio State - Could be a smart move for the second half of Mahomes career.  It was a problem come playoff time and he needs the help, worth the gamble here even with his injury.   32. TRADE CHI (from PHI) - Josh Conerly OT Oregon - I think there could be some OLs to fly off the board late 1st.  Chicago now having gained picks, moves up from 39.  Hampton + Conerly would be a haul with pick 41 not far away for their 3rd pick.     Notables Not Included: QB3 - Not buying Milroe, Dart, Shough, any of them, as round 1 quarterbacks. Shavon Revel Jr. CB ECU - Could easily see Revel in the first, Vikes or Bills are possibilities.  Awesome name. Aireontae Ersery OT Minnesota - Like him but he’s just on the outside looking in with round 1, only so many spots. Malaki Starks S UGA - He’s a very solid prospect but safeties simply are not coveted, he lacks deep speed, and had a spotty 2024.  Legit talent is there - could fall into someone’s arms like Branch did in DET. Tyler Booker OG Alabama - I simply don’t see 3 IOLs in R1.  Still see him going top-40. Maxwell Hairston CB Kentucky - Another really solid prospect I just didn't find the fit for. Nic Scourton DE/EDGE Texas A&M - Was a top 2025 prospect before last season, and he still has the traits that got him that hype.  A potential Lions target. Shemar Stewart DL/EDGE - Just not seeing it even with the testing. Maybe a team takes the gamble but unsure. Darius Alexander DL - Like him but just didn’t find the right spot.  Age (25) could impact where he goes.  Luther Burden III WR Missouri - I just didn’t see a fit and could see him fall out of the first due to a variety of reasons.  James Pearce Jr. OLB Tennessee - I feel there’s traction to his character concerns more than the others.  I don’t see him in R1.   --   Panthers Draft: Still predictive with a hint of my guys/targets:   1. Jalon Walker LB UGA 6’2 243 Land a guy who can become a vocal leader for the team and create a bit of energy on defense.  Pairs well with Trevin longer term and starts alongside Jewell more immediately.  Instant impact. 2.1 - Bradyn Swinson EDGE/OLB LSU  6’4 255 33”+ arms, ~10” hands  A high upside, big framed 3-4 edge rusher from a major program.  Swinson had strong production, exhibits great bend and quickness. Can easily fill in with his frame to become a capable edge setter.  Would be a sound decision in R2. 2.2 (Trade Up) 3rd+5th - Jaylin Noel WR Iowa State 5’11 201 I don’t think he’ll be there come round 3, but this is the specific guy I think we should target.  It’s not just that he’s the “shifty” type, but his catch radius is huge for his size.  Great hand/eye coordination and extremely good at contested catches.  From video interviews I’ve seen, I also imagine this kid is killing it with meetings and seems very into the game.  Teams definitely like him.  We’ve got (3) 5th rounders, so whatevs, use one to move up a bit.         4.1 Jacob Parrish NB/CB Kansas State 5’10 191 Really fluid, plays bigger than he is and would be a long term solution as the primary NB.  Immediately comes in over Smith-Wade who is still solid depth.  4.2 Jonas Sanker S Virginia Seems to be a safety they’ve taken a liking to.  Could be a nice fit alongside Moehrig.    5.1 (traded) - if not - Tai Felton WR Maryland is one of my favorite mid/late round WRs 5.2 Jonah Monheim C/G/T USC - Versatile late round swing lineman to take a flyer on. 5.3 Warren Brinson DT/NT UGA Bring in one of Walker’s teammates as well who could work out long term with some grooming behind Bobby Brown.  Big boy at 6’5 315.  Depth and competition in the trenches is needed to bolster this defense. 7. Caden Davis K Ole Miss Wrap it up by landing a kicker.  What a dude.  
    • I think Carter and Graham are safe to go too. Those guys are definitely going top 10, probably top 5. After those guys though it becomes a real crap shoot as to exactly how it's going to play out though I think there's another handful of guys who are pretty much locks to go top 20.
